PESHAWAR: Clashes broke out during the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Assembly session, resulting in heated exchanges between members and liberal use of kicks and punches, here on Tuesday.
According to the reports, the opposition members requested the Speaker for time to speak. When they were not given a chance, the situation escalated into a verbal confrontation, which eventually culminated in a physical altercation.
During the riots, the MLAs used kicks and punches freely.
